Giants held private visit with Bradley Chubb

After the New York Giants traded defensive end Jason Pierre Paul to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers earlier this week, many have begun to doubt if top edge rusher Bradley Chubb will be available for the Indianapolis Colts in the 2018 NFL Draft.

There is a chance the Giants pass on Chubb as they have more pressing needs elsewhere but they will certainly do their homework as they’ve already held a private meeting and the top prospect is scheduled to visit the Giants facility in a few weeks, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

As the #Giants suddenly have a need at defensive end thanks to the JPP trade, worth noting: They already had a private workout with #NCState DE Bradley Chubb and he visits the facility in a few weeks. They pick No. 2 overall.

The Colts traded back in the draft order to No. 6 overall, which might put them out of the sweepstakes for Chubb but they did net three more second-round picks over the next two drafts.

Chubb is certainly an option for the Giants if they don’t feel any quarterback or Saquon Barkley is worth the No. 2 overall pick, especially given Dave Gettlemen’s priorities being on positions of value.

The Colts are certainly hoping Chubb is still available but they will also have their options if he isn’t.

This is a situation to keep an eye on as the draft approaches because the Giants are the Colts’ biggest competition for Chubb.
